When Tex arrives at Delores Lightbody's house, she seems pretty shaken up about her former boyfriend's death...for the first few seconds anyway. She quickly warms up to Tex, however, and is eager to help in any way she can. Very eager...in any way...

After avoiding Delores' advances, ask her about Linsky's will, which will add Linsky's life insurance and the North Hill Clinic to your Ask About list. Ask Delores about both of these things, and then ask about Arnold Sternwood, who was added to your list when you asked about North Hill Clinic. Delores says she can arrange a meeting between Tex and Sternwood. Ask about anything else on the list you want to, and then end the conversation. Travel back to Carl Linsky's house, where Sylvia is waiting with a special package.

"P.I. Rule #17: Never Upset a Client" When Tex goes back to Linsky's house, Sylvia is there, and she has her father's personal effects from the police station. She hands the manila envelope to Tex, and Tex confronts her about her father's will, the life insurance, and his suspicions about Sylvia's true motives, breaking P.I. Rule #17.

	After Sylvia storms out, examine the manila envelope containing her father's personal effects. Inside you'll find a wallet, two keys, and Linsky's suicide note.
	Examine Linsky's wallet.
	Examine Linsky's suicide note. Looks like the same handwriting as in Carl's "Dear Jane" letter to Delores.
All the evidence suggests that this was, in fact, Carl Linsky, and that he did commit suicide. The question now is Why? Maybe another search of Linsky's house will turn up something.

There's one place in Linsky's house we haven't searched yet. That door next to the bedroom door leads to the attic. Open it up and climb the ladder.

Linsky's Attic

Carl Linsky's attic holds some interesting information, and a bit of creepy forshadowing. Rummage around up here until you find another door (turn left at the deer head; you can't miss it) which leads into a small back room. You'll find everything in here...

Once inside the back room, turn to your left. There will be a small table with a lamp, some books, and a tape recorder. Turn on the tape recorder for that bit of creepy forshadowing I mentioned. In his head? What's he talking about?

Next, head over to the filing cabinet. Open the third drawer from the top, on the right side. Get the letter inside and examine it. Whoever this Blaine Werner guy is, he sure held a grudge against Linsky. Maybe there is more to this case than Tex originally thought. We'll have to see if we can't find out who Blaine Werner is sometime.

Now go to the large credenza. Try and open it, and you'll find it to be locked. Hm...Linsky's effects included two keys. Maybe one of them works here. Try the Small Key, the one with the numbers "1024" on it. Open the locked drawer, get the piece of paper inside, and examine it. Looks like Linsky had a secret hideaway.

Open the rolltop desk on the other side of the room. "Under the hood," as Tex puts it, you'll find another sheet of paper. Get and Examine this one as well. Turns out to be Sylvia's credit report. According to this, Sylvia isn't very good with money. In fact, she's heavily in debt.

A further search of this room won't provide much of anything, so it's time to check out Linsky's warhouse.
